Here’s a little tip… Want to dress up your green tea desert? Create a stencil and dust green tea powder under or over your desert to instantly elevate the presentation of your creation. Also, most green tea deserts look and taste great when garnished with a few pieces of candied ginger or dried sweetened berries or mint sprigs.

Common food pairings with green tea are: seafood, poultry, salads and most fleshy fruits. Common ingredient compatibility with green tea powder in recipes are: lemon, honey, ginger, rice, cream, fish, chicken and sesame (but not all at the same time!).
